Things i wish/want to see in wtnv

-Cecil and Carlos communicating properly for once

(Edit: i wrote this in a way that it sounds like i think they never communicate, that wasn't what i meant. I was talking about Carlos not telling Cecil about his past, especially the ten year DOW situation. Sorry for confusion, they have a healthy realtionship and i know it)

-Cecil's father lore

-More "Night vale exists in real world now" story

-Kevin

-Charles and Donovan lore

-Tamika Flynn snapping and going full militia leader mode one last time

-Character appearences: Huntokar, Earl Harlan, Fay, Janice, Erikas

-KEVIN

When Cecil said that his salmon burgers had arrived at the same time as a handsome visitor to the studio I imagine Earl got so excited for a second only for Cecil to snatch the burgers out of his hand and usher Carlos into the building

#earl is down so bad #wtnv spoilers #earl harlan #he may have ordered them on doordash but earl definitely hand delivered them with a cute little note that cecil didn't read

Ron Stampler (Dungeons and Daddies): "he met his wife by pretending to be a dog online"

Earl Harlan (Welcome to Night Vale): "extremely bad at being bisexual"

Now I wanna make a list of tattoos I think Cecil would have in my brain image of him add ideas to this post/elaborate if you want bc CONCEPTS

• Khoshekh is an obvious one, he almost certainly has some portrayal of him somewhere— can’t decide style or location, tho

• He doesn’t remember getting them but he has stars scattered about his body. Not big ones, just. There.

• A stupid, badly done stuck and poke Earl gave him while they were still in the scouts so they could get the “Permanently Marking Someone’s Body” badge. Earl has a matching one

Esteban’s drawing looking exactly like Cecil’s drawing is putting me in mind of Earl Harlan and his son, who looked and acted exactly like Earl did as a child. The way the drawing turns into Cecil, his mother, and Abby, with Cecil in the place of Esteban, crawling into the tree like he did as a child. And then the way Cecil can’t remember every time Abby tells him about his father and his childhood, it just makes me think of that whole arc with Earl, where Cecil was just starting to realize just how little he remembers, where Earl couldn’t remember where he got a son at all. I doubt it’s a genuine connection, but it makes me so sad.

I think we're all collectively sleeping on Earl Harlan as a character, because while the concept of "guy in love with Cecil who has the mystery 19-for-decades" syndrome may seem like someone's OC, he's so much more than that. It would be easy in any other story to make someone with such significant characteristics a more important figure, especially he's voiced by Will Wheaton. But instead he's more of a throwaway gag character who sometimes shows up to do his cooking segments.

I'll be totally honest; I don't really like Cooking Time With Earl Harlan. But I do like the Night Vale boyscout concepts. It just makes more sense to me that there would be a scout program meant to adapt to the strangeness of life in Night Vale than that there would be weird and inedible recipes i Night Vale all performed while actively broadcasting on the radio. To ME. I know everyone else and their mom loves Cooking Time With Earl Harlan. I am sorry for the discourse that this post will undoubtedly cause. However, TO ME I would rather know about how Earl's experience as a boyscout leader impacted his ability to parent Roger.

The concept of Roger is also intriguing because there are a lot of implications present. Waking up one day with a child would be without a doubt, traumatizing. Does he remind Earl of his childhood self? And what else about Earl's mystery childhood with Cecil would this bring up?

This is what's fascinating about Earl - there's so much about him, but so little of it is elaborated on, leaving lots of room for speculation. What we do know about him, though, contributes to the overall world building of Night Vale. And of course, it wouldn't be right for me to mention Earl without bringing up the fact that he is a canonical cannibal. He has consumed human flesh. This is an actual thing that happened in Night Vale. It just shows what a devoted Scout Master Earl really is.
